Much of the last decade’s success of the Golden State Warriors can be attributed to Draymond Green, the tenacious (and often dirty) defensive stud whose work makes it easier for his teammates beyond the paint. A four-time Champion and four-time All-Star, Green won the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year and eight-time All-Defensive player, he could follow the long line of defensive specialists who have entered the Hall, but he is running dangerously close to “fouling out” due to his actions.
Ask Bill Laimbeer about that.
